Not in fact the problem, see :

It turns out that the problem seems to be that the Hub is connected via a USB 
port on the Pi (the only one in the case of the Zero).  It looks like that 
port cannot handle the conflicts when all the Audio Adaptors shout at once.

If I plug all the Adaptors directly into a Pi 2 or Pi 3 (even when I am using 
a hub for the other devices (mouse, keyboard, WiFI)), everything works.

That means that I cannot use a £4 Pi Zero and must use a £30 Pi 3 (the Pi 2 is 
now £32).

Unless....   Someone knows how to resolve the issue.  (These devices are USB 
V1.1 and that means that the whole hub runs at V 1.1 speed).
